Hi! I’m a 17F soon to graduate high school. I’d like others input on the schools I’m deciding between. I’m American, but I haven’t lived in the U.S. since I was 8, so I don’t really have the same understanding of what the states are like as most teens do. Even without COVID-19, it wasn’t likely that I would be visiting any schools, since I live in England currently. I know that I want to go to a large public school, with at least semi-nice weather, and lots of school spirit. I want to go somewhere where there’s lots things for me to do outside of the campus, but the campus still retains a traditional feel. I’m wanting to study business/economics, and studying abroad is very important to me. After college, I want to work in the commercial aviation industry. I’m also receiving about 18 months of GI Bill benefits and get in-state tuition at any public school under the Choice Act, so while cost is important, I’m in a better position that most. These are the schools I’m deciding between ( I also applied to LSU, Clemson, and Buffalo very recently, so I haven’t received a decision from them yet):
University of Kentucky
$40k scholarship
In state tuition over 4 years - about $50,000
Pros: close to family and friends in the states
dorms are really nice ( being comfortable is important to me )
newly renovated business school
close to a full ride, as I have about 2 1/2 years of tuition, room and board, books, etc, paid by GI BIll
Parents want me to go here lol
Cons: I have no idea what the area of Lexington is like
smallest of the three schools
Michigan State University
$20k scholarship ( $5k study abroad scholarship )
In state tuition over 4 years - about $58,000
Pros: Largest of the three schools
Business school has a great reputation
relatively close to friends and family
Cons: Weather 
Not sure if the area of East Lansing has much to do or is very diverse
Out of pocket tuition costs (not a terrible amount tho)
CU Boulder
No Scholarship
In state tuition over 4 years - around $50,000
Pros: Area of Boulder seems amazing
Just from watching videos, the campus vibes seem nice
Lots to do in the state of Colorado
Close to Denver airport ( possible internships )
Cons: the most expensive of the three ( around $25,000-$20,000 in out of pocket tuition)
I’ve never traveled father than Indiana in the states, so I have no clue what Colorado is like
Not close to any family, which is mainly a problem during holiday breaks, since I wont be able to afford to go back to England every single time
Thanks for reading and maybe responding! Any input would be great.
